allergic to MIL!

My lo is officially allergic to mil! This is what happened....Lo has had eczema in creases of elbows and knees since born. Somedays worse than others. But usually its very mild. We talked about lo having milk sensitivity at doc but I'm not crazy about dairy so not much in my system and eczema not bad to warrant elimination diet. 1 mo ago had reaction to 1st dairy encounter (yogurt). A few hives and itchy face. Told to wait and retry dairy in 1 mo. A few days ago MIL was over and being crazy giving lo kisses and squishing his face against hers. Again lo face red (at the time thought she got lipstick on him but tried wiping off and wouldn't come off then realized it was a rash). Yesterday tried cheese for 1st time (10 tiny pea-sized pieces). Lo threw up immediately and face full of red marks. Talked to doc and looks like true milk allergy. In 3 wks at his 1 yr apt we r talking more about next steps. But the part I'm most excited about is that MIL gives lo reactions because she's a crazy lady when it comes her layers of makeup. I banned her from seeing lo unless she's makeup free! Sorry that was a bit rambling but I'm happy to have an excuse not to have crazy MIL attack my little guy! It's the only bright side to the milk allergy (btw- I had the same when I was little but outgrew by the time I was 5)

I am allergic to MIL and my lo is clearly allergic to milk. He's been on Neocate since 8 weeks. I thought he'd be ok trying some yogurt and he's had diarrhea every time. Once he also got red marks on one cheek. I haven't heard from the dr on next steps and am curious to hear your experience. I'm hoping it's just milk and that it goes away. This sucks. :-(

The one thing lo didn't have was diarrhea. It was vomit, small amount of facial swelling and rash/splotchy red patches on face. I'll let u know what doc ends up saying. I'm totally milking (no pun intended) the allergy to MIL! Like I said - if there's gotta be an upside to all of this, that is it!!
